Please add a good crossfeed. This is very nice for listening to older rock.  
Note, crossfeed and cross fade are NOT the same thing.  
Making the crossfeed easily accessible to turn off and of would be very nice too.

To learn about crossfeed, [Crossfeed - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfeed)

@Dr_Tone since they didn’t understand your request and archived it, I’m reentering it.

Mods, this is NOT a duplicate of " Crossfade on Music Librarys". Cross fade is something different.

„They“ have been notified and [that other suggestion](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-a-crossfeed-implementation-in-the-ios-app/132286) had been reopened.  
Does that make yours a duplicate? 😇

^This. [Here is a brief explanation on crossfeed from Meier Audio.](http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/crossfeed.html) It operates on the simple principle that you hear a little bit of the left channel in your right ear and vice versa when listening through speakers. In practice, it mixes in a very faint, slightly delayed, equalized version of the opposite channel to the left and right channels. But different from a head-related transfer function which can compress the dynamic range of the source material and degrade with unnatural tonal quality, crossfeed is much less destructive to source audio. It does not apply any reverb or other effects that can disturb the fragile nature of audio, but its minimalistic approach creates a contiguous soundfield inside your head. The “Meier” style of crossfeed is already implemented in MPC-HC and Foobar2000 in open source code, which is publicly available and very simple to implement in code. Here is example code you can reference for implementation.

MPC-HC - crossfeed source code:

In that case and to avoid distracting/dispersing votes, I’m going to close this thread (keeping the original request).
